The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 411: Another New Person

Hu Chengcheng was puzzled. “Why would you think of asking me this, Student Yan Jinyu?”

“Teacher Hu, you can call me by my name directly,” Yan Jinyu said with a smile.

Hu Chengcheng was surprised at first when she heard that, but then she was delighted. “Th-then, should I call you Jinyu like Tan Shiyun?”

“Yes.”

Hu Chengcheng was really happy now. Be it the blow that Liu Guang had given her, or her disappointment, most of them had dissipated because Yan Jinyu asked her to call her name directly.

Calling her by her name meant that they were closer.

Hu Chengcheng didn’t smile as reluctantly as before. “Then, Jinyu, why did you think of asking me this?”

“I’m just curious.”

“Can’t Teacher Hu say it?” Yan Jinyu suddenly felt that her words sounded a little like those scheming girls.

Look, after she asked that, Hu Chengcheng didn’t even hesitate anymore.

Another person who felt that she was an innocent girl.

However, they were much better than Yin Jiujin. At least, they didn’t think that she was silly like Yin Jiujin.

With this in mind, she looked up at Yin Jiujin.

Yin Jiujin only had her in his eyes. Naturally, he sensed it the moment she looked at him and looked back at her.

Under the table, Yin Jiujin had been holding Yan Jinyu’s left hand since she sat down. He placed it on his lap and carefully rubbed her wrist.

Yin Jiujin remembered what Min Rufeng had said when he gave her the ointment.

No matter how skilled and fast the young lady was, it was not easy for her to walk out unscathed in such a rain of bullets. It was obvious.

She didn’t say it, but his heart ached for her.

Yan Jinyu glanced at Yin Jiujin. She didn’t expect to see his black eyes filled with pity and heartache.

She was actually really fine. She was used to all this.

However, she was still very touched to see Yin Jiujin so concerned.

She retracted her gaze and continued to look at Hu Chengcheng.

She would settle the problem here and comfort him when they returned home.

She guessed Yin Jiujin would definitely be angry about the fact that she knew Liu Guang and the others were hiding in the Feng Family and didn’t tell him about it. Even if Yin Jiujin knew and followed her afterwards.

He would only be angry silently.

Just like a child.

Actually, she remembered what he said last time. She wanted to confirm that Liu Guang was indeed in the Feng Family before telling him, but she didn’t expect to see him in the Feng Family that night.

Hu Chengcheng hurriedly said, “It’s not that I can’t say it.”

Perhaps because she was recalling the situation at that time, she did not notice that the two people opposite her had a short exchange of glances, and she had successfully become a third wheel.

“I was still young at that time, so I don’t remember very clearly.”

“Teacher Hu, just tell me what you remember. Just treat it as a casual chat. There’s no need to be so serious.”

Hu Chengcheng thought for a moment and said, “I was on my way home from school that day. It was almost dark when two people rushed out to abduct me. He happened to pass by and shouted, ‘Stop!’ Those two people seemed to glance at him before turning and running away. I don’t remember much else. I was too frightened at that time.”

“He only shouted once and didn’t make a move?”

Hu Chengcheng shook her head. “I remember that clearly. He didn’t.”

Yan Jinyu narrowed her eyes slightly. “After that, did anyone go missing in your neighborhood? Especially those around your age.”

“Yes, there was a girl who was in the same class as me. I remember that she liked to sit in the corner alone in class. She didn’t play with others and played with the Rubik’s Cube every day. She was especially good at playing with the Rubik’s Cube. She was very special, so I’ve always remembered her all these years.”

“I think she went missing a few days after I met that incident.”

As she spoke, Hu Chengcheng was shocked. “Could it be that the two people who wanted to abduct me did that too? But I heard that she went shopping with her family and got lost at the mall.”

Yan Jinyu smiled without saying a word.

Hu Chengcheng’s heart gradually sank.

She was smart to begin with. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to get into the Imperial Capital University to study for her master’s degree.

“So, did my classmate get lost because of the two people who planned to abduct me that night? Perhaps, even… Mr. Liu might be on their side?”

“Mr. Liu didn’t happen to pass by when they abducted me. Instead, he was with them and realized that they had abducted the wrong person. That’s why he asked those two to ‘stop’?”

It was no wonder that Hu Chengcheng thought so much. Since Yan Jinyu didn’t get along with Liu Guang, she definitely knew who Liu Guang was.

And Yan Jinyu was indeed not a talkative person.

Yan Jinyu, who wasn’t talkative, was sitting here chatting with her now. They were even chatting about what happened so many years ago. There must be a reason for that.

Since there was a reason, she could figure it out easily.

“…Jinyu, how much do you know about Mr. Liu?”

Yan Jinyu chuckled and gave her an ambiguous answer, “Teacher Hu, where do you think I’ve been for the past 16 years?”

“Aren’t you at the…”

She could not say the word “orphanage” in the end.

Yes, if it was really as the rumors said, how could Jinyu be so outstanding when she grew up in an orphanage in a small town? She had thought that Jinyu was born with outstanding intelligence, but seeing her holding a gun today…

“Were you abducted by them like my classmate?”

Yan Jinyu smiled and didn’t answer her question directly. She only said, “Back then, Teacher Hu met the injured Liu Guang when he was in university. Do you think his injuries are like those of ordinary people?”

Yan Jinyu didn’t know how serious Liu Guang’s injuries were back then and how he was injured, but since Liu Guang needed to hide his whereabouts and let an ordinary female university student take care of him, he definitely wouldn’t be lightly injured.

Thinking about it carefully, Hu Chengcheng should have been 18 or 19 years old when she went to university. At that time, Meimei was about eight years old and had just arrived at Ghost Slaughter Island.

Xi Mao died shortly after that.

Liu Guang’s injuries at that time should be related to Xi Mao.

Hu Chengcheng was stunned. She clearly remembered Liu Guang’s injuries at that time.

“He was injured. Did he ask you to send him to the hospital?”

Hu Chengcheng shook her head in a daze. “No.”

“So, he didn’t save me from the beginning and I don’t owe him a favor? I even saved him?”

“It seems like it,” Yan Jinyu said.

Hu Chengcheng was a little unwilling to believe that.

If all these were fake, then what was her feeling all these years?

She seemed to like someone who didn’t exist.

Fortunately, she was rational. She saw Liu Guang again just now and realized that he was different from what she remembered. Otherwise, she probably could not accept it at all now.

However, even so, she was still a little dispirited.

Yan Jinyu didn’t disturb her and waited for her to digest it herself.

After a long while, Hu Chengcheng looked up. “Jinyu, can I ask what’s your relationship with Mr… Liu Guang? I think you guys…”

She didn’t continue.

“Enemies to the death,” Yan Jinyu said.

Hu Chengcheng thought to herself,?Indeed.

Actually, she had already sensed it outside the Feng Family’s mansion just now, but she didn’t expect their relationship to be so irreconcilable.

“How much time did Teacher Hu spend with Liu Guang? I’m not talking about your subsequent contact. I’m talking about how long you took care of him when he was injured.”

“About two months.”

Hu Chengcheng thought that she must have her reasons for asking this, so she simply said, “At that time, I was working part-time outside. I couldn’t go back before the dormitory was locked, so I rented an apartment outside.”

“Then, did he interact with anyone in the two months? Or did he mention anyone?” Yan Jinyu asked casually.

In fact, she had no idea how much power Liu Guang had, especially how many families like the Feng Family were being used by him.

She always had to probe so that she could proceed in the future.

She didn’t think so in the past, but now that Yan Jinyu thought about it again, if she hadn’t planned to destroy Ghost Slaughter Island, what would Liu Guang be like now?

He was probably invincible.

After all, Ghost Slaughter Island was an invincible existence in the eyes of outsiders. If Liu Guang’s other forces were added together…

She had destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island because of the cruelty it inflicted on her. It was also because Ghost Slaughter Island wanted to kill her too.

Now that she thought about it, she was rather glad that she had done that back then.

Otherwise, who knew what Liu Guang would do and how many people would suffer.

Just look at Yin Jiujin beside her…

Liu Guang had Yin Xiaoxiao in his hands, so he had a huge advantage. It was hard to say what would happen to Yin Jiujin when he faced him.

Others thought that Yin Jiujin was indifferent and heartless, and he did as he pleased without being restrained. However, she knew that Yin Jiujin valued relationships the most.

It was impossible for him to ignore Yin Xiaoxiao’s life.

“I haven’t seen him interact with anyone, but he mentioned to me that he has five children.”

“He even told you that?” Yan Jinyu was surprised.

Hu Chengcheng nodded.

At that time, she thought that Liu Guang had seen through her thoughts and deliberately told her these to make her give up. Actually, up until now, she still couldn’t figure out why Liu Guang would tell her these since he wanted to hide his identity.

“Did he mention his wife?”

Hu Chengcheng was stunned and then shook her head.

No!

He only mentioned the children but not his wife. Was it because…

She frowned.

Before she could say anything, Yan Jinyu said what she was thinking, “Then, I’m afraid he had designs on you back then.”

“In fact, does he have a wife?” Hu Chengcheng asked.

Knowing that she didn’t owe Liu Guang a favor and that Liu Guang was someone who specialized in kidnapping children, she didn’t have any feelings for Liu Guang anymore.

Even if she still felt a little uncomfortable, it was not because of Liu Guang. It was because of the kind and gentlemanly person she owed a favor to in her memory.

She asked this because she wanted to give her past self an explanation and let her see what kind of person she had liked.

If he had a wife but did not say anything and even showed that kind of intention to her, then…

He was too lousy.

However, she did not seem to be a good person either. She knew that the other party had children and a family, but she could not help but like him, even if she had never said her thoughts out loud, even if she had never thought of fighting for anything.

“I don’t know.” Yan Jinyu really didn’t know if Liu Guang had a wife.

“But he has five children. How many women do you think he has around him? From what I know, two of his sons are less than a year apart in age.”

She was talking about Liu Junqing and Liu Yu.

Hu Chengcheng forced a smile.

Then he was really a jerk.

“However, Teacher, you said that he has five children. Did he mention anything about these five children? For example, what age and gender are they?”

Among the five children, the only ones she knew were Liu Junqing and Liu Yu. Perhaps Min Sisi was too. After all, the recording she heard at the Min Family’s banquet back then mentioned Liu Guang’s name.

What about the other two?

Liu Guang’s children must be extraordinary.

For example, Min Sisi had lived in the Min Family for so many years. Perhaps Liu Guang’s other children were also hiding by their side.

“He didn’t say their ages, but he did say that he has three sons and two daughters.”

Hu Chengcheng suddenly thought of something and said excitedly, “Oh right, I think I’ve seen one of his daughters!”

“However, I was far away at that time and didn’t see it clearly. Later on, I asked out of curiosity. Liu Guang said that was his daughter.”

“I happened to receive a call from my family that day. I was very frustrated, so this matter was ignored. I didn’t remember it immediately.”

“Teacher Hu, can you describe his daughter roughly? This is very important to us.”

“I…” It was a little vague. Hu Chengcheng thought about it carefully and only had a rough outline. “I only saw her side profile. She was a little far away, so I’m afraid I’m not too sure. Since you said that it’s very important to you, I’ll tell you. I hope it’s useful to you.”

“I’m not bad at drawing. I can draw it out.”

Without Yan Jinyu saying a word, Yin Jiujin raised his hand and called the waiter over, asking her to prepare a pen and paper.

After a while, the waiter found a piece of paper and a pen.

Hu Chengcheng was good at drawing. She finished it in less than five minutes.

“Yes, that’s about it.”

Yan Jinyu took it.

Her shoulder-length hair could only see the side of her face. Although she wasn’t very sure, Yan Jinyu could still tell from her outline that this wasn’t Min Sisi.

And not anyone she had ever met.

She asked Yin Jiujin, “Brother Nine, have you seen this person before?”

Yin Jiujin shook his head decisively. “I’ve only seen a few women. Even when I see them, I won’t take a second look. I can’t remember their looks at all.”

“…” Yan Jinyu.

“…” Hu Chengcheng.

“Teacher Hu, can you give me this painting?”

“Of course. Take it if you need it.”

“Thank you.” After a pause, Yan Jinyu said, “If possible, Teacher Hu, please don’t contact Liu Guang.”

“I know.”

Even if Jinyu didn’t say anything, she wouldn’t have contacted a human trafficker who had almost kidnapped her.

As for the emotions in her heart that had yet to dissipate, she would definitely forget them when she went back and adjusted her emotions properly.

“Oh right, he gave me his name card.”

Hu Chengcheng took out the name card and handed it to Yan Jinyu, “I don’t know if it can be connected, nor do I know if it’s useful to you. Anyway, it’s useless for me to keep it, so I’ll give it to you to try. If it’s useful, that’s for the best. If it’s useless, just throw it away.”

Yan Jinyu took it with a faint smile.

***

After leaving the cafe, Hu Chengcheng went straight to the hotel to pack her things and book a flight back to North City.

As for Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin, they naturally returned to the hotel.

In the car on the way back, Yan Jinyu kept staring at the portrait, ignoring Yin Jiujin.

Yin Jiujin didn’t say a word. He was very quiet.

However, this was obviously the calm before the storm. Unfortunately, Yan Jinyu didn’t notice it.

When the two of them arrived at the hotel, Yin Jiujin calmly led Yan Jinyu into the elevator and headed to the presidential suite on the top floor.

The moment they entered the suite, Yin Jiujin closed the door calmly. He even calmly helped Yan Jinyu remove her bag and took the portrait from her.

Yan Jinyu’s thoughts were still on the painting. She let him do whatever he wanted.

She only reacted when he took the portrait away.

Yin Jiujin didn’t give her any time to react. He pushed her back onto the sofa and laid on top of her.

He kissed her lips forcefully.
